Harder to miss.

You have a formula that is working.

Formula? Playing for a tie in a must-win game, hoping to draw and covert a PK in Added Time?

making big investments in the winter shouldn't preclude making some investment in the summer. 


Of course! Assess halfway through the season, then strengthen weak areas. Seems simple.

#1437798 The White trade, again

Posted by JBigjake54 on 23 October 2023 - 12:20 PM

Maybe Struber was the wrong coach

Looks like it, in hindsight.

We knew what Struber thought of White before he even got here. He benched White for the playoff game he came for, after White had been the our main scorer in leading up to the playoffs.


An early sign that Struber thought that he was smarter than everyone else.

I haven't seen anyone on our bench who I'm confident would play that role any more effectively than Barlow has played striker.


I am confident that any player on our bench could play any role on the field better than Barlow plays striker.

What would this team be with a 15-goal scorer?
35 this season is 13 less than 2022's 48.
Omir our top scorer in MLS with 6 goals.
Morgan's 14 were not replaced.

Jack Hughes won a game for the Devils in OT yesterday when he acted like he was holding it up during a line change and then caught the GK not expecting a shot.


Every Devils fan knew that he was going to shoot! 😁

He is trying.
So far, playoff streak being mentioned every minute.

Berhalter should talk to Gio when healthy enough to accept a call up. When Gio will have an actual role.


Gio looking good tonight.


#1437293 NMR: Streaming setups?

You can watch Rutgers and Jets on Fubo.   


Why would you want to do either? 😄

When do the playoffs start? 


Look at this as a playoff game. Win or go home.
